Dodecahedron learning
Thu, Nov 15, 2007
Have you ever wondered how to model a Dodecahedron D12? How about generating a flat pattern of this 3D geometric wonder? Recently at a technical education conference my employer CADDWorks Corp. received a request by a high-school teacher for information on this very topic. In this video you will see some basics of surface modeling, linked dimensions, and flattening sheet-metal boxes. Enjoy, and continue to send your suggestions to tim(at)solidworker.com.
(edit) After making the first revision of this video I started thinking about other ways to create the D12 shape. I have now added a second method for creationg a D12 that is not based on surface features but rather solid features.

Hey there, i´m having a problem watching your video, around minute 18 the video goes black and I can´t see how you do the shell feature. I don´t know if it´s about the link or my computer… Thank you.

There is a much easier way to do it. One extrusion with taper, a mirrored solid, a rotation of the mirrored body and an intersection.

Gooood, Mental exercise! Want more with at least this level of complexity.
Thank you.
